J-45 True Vintage Acoustic Guitar

The Gibson J-45 True Vintage Acoustic Gutiar boasts a historic aged look with popular vintage features. An Adirondack red spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and a Madagascar rosewood fingerboard and bridge are just some of the appointments that reflect the J-45 guitar's history.

From the blues to bluegrass to folk to pop and everything in-between, the Gibson J-45 True Vintage guitar delivers. The J-45 guitar's premium red spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides don't just look reassuringly authentic, they also produce unmatched mellow, full-bodied tone.

In the early 1940s, a Gibson sales rep lobbied hard for the development of a flattop dreadnought to compete with other popular acoustic guitars of the day. He so convincing that despite wartime demands on the factory, Gibson launched the J-45 guitar in 1942, and it quickly became a staple of the Gibson Acoustic line.
